Power Manager can power on a Mac, run a series of tasks, and power off the Mac without requiring any interaction. With Power Manager you can create sophisticated energy saving schedules and automate complex tasks.
An event might tell the computer to perform a particular action at a specific time. You can create separate events to power on your Mac at different times across the day or week. By creating multiple events, you build a unique schedule for your needs.
Events can be as simple as putting the Mac to sleep after a period of inactivity; or as complex as powering on your Mac, waiting for a user to log-in, and only then running an AppleScript or Automator workflow.
Power Manager lets you focus on what needs to be done instead of learning about configuration files, user sessions, and other technical edge cases. Power Manager helps you avoid the frustration that can make seemingly simple tasks difficult.
Yes, deploying Power Manager across an organisation is easy. We provide administrator and technical support to help you get the most from your decision. Power Manager scales and includes numerous features designed explicitly for large networks.
We have a specially packaged edition of Power Manager. The packaged edition is a standard Installer package that can be deployed quickly and easily with most network management tools. The Installer package requires no pre-installation or post-installation scripts and can be installed onto a non-booted system volume.
Since beginning Power Manager in 1997, our customers have grown to include household names. We have customers across the world ranging from multi-national businesses, museums, and academic organisations; to consultants and individuals who use Power Manager to craft unique personalised schedules.
Users are shown count downs, notifications, and warnings before events that might affect their use of the computer. This behaviour is ideal for computer labs or where computers are shared by multiple people.
Like the tip of an iceberg, Power Manager reveals only a small fraction of what is possible. As your schedule evolves and becomes more sophisticated, you will delight in discovering that Power Manager is already able to do what you considered impossible.
There is nothing you can not do via the command line tool pmctl. The tool provides complete control over Power Manager. The graphical user interface updates immediately as command line settings are issued.
What happens instead, is that the screen goes blank, but the suspend does not happen (the lights on my computer case do not flash). Upon waking it up and logging in, the tasks in my custom SystemD After=suspend.target service does not run. I need to run systemctl cancel for them to run.
If I turn the computer off, then the computer doesn't shut off. Instead it goes into suspend mode. After I press the power button, a line or 2 extra appears in the shutdown process, then the computer shuts down normally.
There is some error in journalctl --boot=0. This makes me think it's Nvidia driver having an error, but there's been a driver update lately, which didn't fix things. There are fewer errors reported though.
The second command is also needed, or for some reason when I resume, there is no login manager, just a black screen with my mouse cursor. My login manager is the lightdm-webkit-theme-aether package in Arch Linux.
Maybe try with 15 minutes, but I don't see why that should be any different. Its just a timeout. Does the log file (for both the 1 and 15 minute tests) have anything interesting? You should see when the timeout gets triggered - hoping maybe there is something else at that time when it fails.
You can see in the log file where it now sets up to use the logind suspend backend. Does your /etc/systemd/logind.conf contain default values - especially for "HandleSuspendKey"? (should be set to suspend).
This worked for me at least. Mine was set to 'no' so I would have to start xfce4-power-manager manually. By changing the value to 'yes' it now starts at login automatically without any further configuration.
The xfce power manager is repeating, incessantly: "Your battery is charging", "Your battery is fully charged", "Your battery is charging", "Your battery is fully charged", "Your battery is charging", "Your battery is fully charged"... etc.
This has never happened before. The most likely explanation is that there is some short causing the power to keep dropping. I'm not aware of any loose connections or problems with my power supply. I'm sat in a cafe I've never sat in before. I can't say for sure.
At the time, I thought it might have had something to do withthe interaction between battery capacity loss andcharging thresholds.Lithium-ion batteries lose capacity over time,so maybe at some point in the battery's lifetimethe charge threshold would be right at the edge,leading to a flurry of notificationsuntil the capacity dropped enough to be out of range.The last full charge of my battery was at 95.10% of design capacity:
Notes: I implemented a 120 second "flap timer" that is reset each time one ofthe notifications specifically for battery full/charging/discharging occurswhile the other types of notifications are shown as usual.
Also the last charge state the system settles into once flapping stops maynot be shown and it would be trivial to set an event callback timer each timea notification is suppressed to eventually show the "final state" if flappingstopped since the timer was set.
Added flapping suppression for a laptop that continually reverts between 99%and 100% and spams the screen with charging/discharging/fullycharged messagesto the point where the notifications occurred many times per minute.
Right now, if the laptop is plugged in, the 'battery is charging' bubble/tipkeeps flashing on and off in the right hand corner. Also with this laptop ifI head into the xfce4-power-manager the lid close and power button optionsare greyed out.
The power manager / battery keeps popping up a notification telling me mylaptop battery is charging, then a second later, tells me it's fully charged.But I haven't unplugged the power, and I never had this issue with Ubuntuproper.
...but it has an issue with the power. It is like the battery will charge to100%, start discharging, then fully charge again every few seconds. Xfcepower manager will notify me every second of the current status: "Yourbattery is charging" > "Your battery is fully charged". I thought it mighthave been a bug with Ubuntu, but it will do it while it is sleeping too (thebattery LED on the back will flash every few seconds the same way). Is mybattery or power supply just begging to be replaced? Would I be able to fixin software? I could probably disable power manager notifications, but thatfeels more like a bandaid.
I just did a clean install of 12.04 on my netbook, then installed xubuntu-desktop. (The reason for that is the showstopper bugs in 11.10 Unity -- like menus not working, or the launch bar capturing the mouse and locking up the machine)
I had this problem, i unchecked "Power Manager" from "Application Autostart" list in Settings -> Session and Startup and added another application with this command xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon then i have not have this problem yet.
However, I also use xfce4 power manager to manage power, e.g. on battery or on AC. In the display tab of xfce4 power manager, I can tweak the time until system goes to sleep. The thing is, when my laptop goes to sleep via this set time, it activates the xflock4 locker:
All of the Lenovo bloatware has to go. I had similar issues with Power management, Windows updates both having issues with the Lenovo software. Installed the OS without any of it and have not had an issue since.
Just adding to this post since I just experienced the same issue with a Lenovo T540p that I upgraded to windows 10. Part of the updates that Lenovo installs is listed as settingsdependency. Needed to load in the Lenovo controls so I could change the numlock/capslock timouts to fade instead of always on. What worked for me was to go to c:\program files\Lenovo\settingsdependency\power and run the setup there. This initially worked but in my quest to weed out all the un-needed bloat for my users one of the applications must have removed files that the power meter needed. running this setup again put them back.
The BXPA1 is a combination DCC Auto-Revereser, occupancy detector, Transponding detector, and intelligent power manager. It is designed to make transponding implementation easy and provide advanced DCC track management by communicating all state information to LocoNet. The BXPA1 is silent solid state and uses no mechanical relays for auto-reversing.
Does the FR 245 now feature the power manager facility/system? Is it possible for me to set it so that the standard 24hrs battery life increases to 30hrs with the watch using gps the whole time? I am going to be running 100 miles, should be done in 24 hours but it may, with breaks, go on a bit longer. Can the 245 work for me or do I need to buy the 945? TIA
Thanks for that. I guessed as much. Interesting, a power back - but a bit impractical though I could keep topping up the power when I stop for 20 min breaks - not healthy for the battery, 20 min charge bursts??
I've sent you one reply to your comment but here's another: bear in mind that all I do is run, what should I get, if the 245 battery won't be enough for me, the 945 or, for the same price, the Fenix 6 Pro, no maps/music/wifi?
